Granny Mary's Invest In Potted Beef Depositor For Their Original Recipes- February 04th 2016

 

Granny Mary’s Original Recipes is owned by father and son team Alistair and William Sutherland, and they produce a variety of high quality British pate. They've enjoyed huge success over the years and won a number of prestige awards for their "Original Recipe" products. 

Originally made by their Granny Mary in the 1920’s and sold as Potted Beef, the key to the superior quality of their original recipes is the 80% meat content and absolutely nothing artificial. Due to the nature of the product, short production runs are essential to ensure each pot is delivered fresh and ready to enjoy without delay. 

Over the years, as orders and demand for their products increased, much of their working week was spent hand filling pots. The father and son team realised that to meet demand and spend less time in production the company needed to invest in a semi-automatic depositor.

They were aware of Riggs Autopack as one of the UK's leading depositor manufacturers and suppliers to the food industry, and contacted Riggs to discuss the supply of a suitable pate depositor to meet their production needs. Key to both William and Alistair, was that the depositor must provide damage free product handling and highly accurate depositing. It was extremely important the depositor was also built to a very high standard and offered first class hygiene.

Following initial discussions between the two companies, Riggs Autopack visited site and provided a no-obligation extended machine trial. During this trial period, Riggs Autopack demonstrated the effectiveness of the depositor, the fill accuracy of the original recipe products, and the strip-down and cleaning procedure. The machine was left at site for a period of 2 weeks for both Alistair and William to use on their production runs prior to any purchase decision being made.

Following this period, both Alistair and William were delighted with the depositor and placed an order with Riggs Autopack for a new semi-automatic Series 1 micro depositor. The high quality design of this depositor provides a deposit range of 3ml - 85ml per cycle, is bench mounted with foot pedal operation. It also enables complete strip down with no tools and hygienic cleaning to be completed in less than 10 minutes ready for each original recipe.

This flexibility and rapid product changeover has enabled more original recipes to be produced for market including Smoked Turkey and Prime Beef with Gin. When describing the depositor to a business associate, Alistair stated "In my opinion, Riggs Autopack make the best depositor in the world. It's easy to use, very high quality build and William loves using it!"
